5 College Football teams headed for a hefty drop in 2022

Even as early as right now, college football teams are capable of indicating a rise or fall in their performances next season. Here are five that fall into the latter.

Whether it is because of the loss of a player, the loss of a coach, or their current showing merely being a fluke, there are multiple college football teams that are bound to take a bit of a tumble between now and the 2022-23 season.

Now just because teams are on this list does not mean that they are set to suck next year. Rather, they are just expected to fall some in regards to the overall quality of performance. In fact, all of the following names being in the rankings next season would not be at all surprising.

With that said, here are five college football teams (in no particular order) that are indicating a hefty drop being in store for them in 2022.

#5: Oregon Ducks

Oregon appeared to be somewhat of a “paper tiger” this season, only managing to snatch one statement win early in its 2021 run. Since then, the Ducks have struggled with the weak and been beaten up by the decent.

Combine all of the recent struggles with the departure of head coach Mario Cristobal, and there are very few positives for Oregon fans to look forward to. And fellow Pac-12 powers most likely won’t be willing to wait on the Ducks, either.

New head coach Dan Lanning feels like a good fit for the program, but he shouldn’t be expected to cement a respectable status right off the bat, especially considering his lack of experience at the HC position up until now.

The Ducks should not be written off entirely, though, as the Pac-12 is still very much winnable (especially in the North division). But, if Oregon was to finish this next season barely ranked, it would not be a total shock.
